Dysplasia in Fundic Gland Polyps is Associated with Nuclear β-Catenin Expression and Relatively High Cell Turnover Rates
1 Jan 2003
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Fundic gland polyps (FGPs) occur in both syndromic and sporadic form. Syndromic FGPs arise through mutations in the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene, whereas sporadic FGPs are caused by beta-catenin gene mutations. Dysplasia in sporadic FGPs, found less often than in syndromic FGPs, was recently associated with APC rather than beta-catenin mutations. These data suggest different functional...
